It would be famously interesting to be able to create scripts in the Lua language (https://www.lua.org/home.html), and run them via the existing, but adapted, macro interface.
I've developed a graphics app that uses the Lua interpreter, and I can guarantee it's an easily achievable project. (Contact me if necessary).
TextPad scripting with Lua
Moderators: AmigoJack, helios, bbadmin, Bob Hansen, MudGuard
So far I was not in need to script TextPad - recording macros is already a help that solves most problems. Of course, I'd enjoy being able to edit existing macros, but I also understand the difficulty of composing human readible instructions just from actions that are recorded.
Lua? Not necessary, could be any langauge.
Scripting? Not necessarily, but it would give much better control.
Macros which can be edited? That would be great - even if it only comes without any language and I'm only able to click/re-arrange everything in a window instead of writing down code lines.
